Goose Island State Park Campground

Goose Island State Park was a great place to camp!  When we arrived all the beach front sites were taken but it was probably for the best as it looked much much windier out there and there wasn’t much for tent spots either.  Also with the frightening amount of rust my bike developed during . . . → Read More: Goose Island State Park Campground

Presidio la Bahia grounds

We took far to many pictures here and even after throwing out 75% of them I need to divide this into 3 posts.   You’ve already seen the ones of the main building and history of Goliad.  These are just random pictures of the grounds and interesting details.  I’ll put up another focused on the . . . → Read More: Presidio la Bahia grounds

Goliad, the other Alamo

Another GPS goof.   We were headed to Port Aransas and had just gone through the small town of Goliad when the Garmin decided we needed to be heading east instead of south like we had been all day.  What the heck?   I pulled over to zoom out on the map and sure enough . . . → Read More: Goliad, the other Alamo

San Antonio Riverwalk

The San Antonio Riverwalk area is not to be missed.  It is a strip of shallow canals lined with awesome restaurants and shops.  The atmosphere is great, its shaded and next to the cool water and a great way to escape the sometimes overbearing heat elsewhere in the city.  Lets face it, at the . . . → Read More: San Antonio Riverwalk

Riverwalk Bus Tour

San Antonio had some awesome double decker tour busses. They are inexpensive and a great way to see the downtown area of the city. Why spend your time looking through fliers and guides to decide where to go and then have to hunt for parking when you can sit back and relax and . . . → Read More: Riverwalk Bus Tour

With the unexpected setback of SeaWorld being closed what else were we to in San Antonio with no planning…    The Alamo!

The Alamo is a tourist trap of course and overcomercialized to the point that theres little authenticity left and as much as I hate coming to places like this it is still . . . → Read More: The Alamo

Sea World?

We travelled for days nearly getting lost and running out of gas in in the back woods of Texas after our Garmin mistook a cattle trail for a highway and we endured sweltering heat, wind, poisonous fumes and hula-hooping embarrassment all to see killer whales doing tricks.  What do we find?  CLOSED!!   Maybe . . . → Read More: Sea World?

Koyote Ranch

The next day we left bright and early to head for Kerrville and Koyote Ranch campground to catch the tail end of the V Star 650 Texas Meet and Greet.  I had planned to get there Friday to meet up with everyone but due to a major crisis at work we got delayed and were . . . → Read More: Koyote Ranch

Texas Trip 2011

Trip time again!

We are both incredibly broke this year and I couldn’t afford to do another month on the road again so instead we decided to meet up with the CC&D crowd once again at the Texas Meet and Greet and then just stay exploring Texas for another week and relive a bit of . . . → Read More: Texas Trip 2011
